A CISA medical or compassionate withdrawal can be requested when extraordinary circumstances prevent you from continuing in enrolled classes. You may choose to request a complete or partial session withdrawal. If selecting a partial withdrawal, you must include specific documentation justifying the select nature of your request. Please note each case is reviewed individually and completing the process does not guarantee or ensure approval
Here are the two different types of requests you can choose to pursue:
Medical Withdrawal requests can include, but are not limited to, a serious illness or injury (physical or mental health difficulties).
Compassionate Withdrawal requests can include, but are not limited to, serious illness of a child or spouse or death of a parent, child or spouse.
If you have been impacted by COVID-19 please feel free to reach out to the CISA Medical Designee Lorraine DeRosa (Lorraine.DeRosa@asu.edu) to see if a medical or compassionate withdrawal could be an option.
If you are receiving financial assistance, it is strongly recommended that you consult with a Student Financial Assistance Counselor to review the potential impacts of any kind of withdrawal transaction.
